SAP Life Science Practice Leader

Our client is an established international SAP consulting company looking for someone to help create and lead a new Life Sciences practice within its French business. Your location within France is flexible but you must be fluent in French and English.

This is an exciting opportunity to build something new, with the reputation, resources and support of a well-known SAP consulting brand behind you. You will have the opportunity to help shape the practice from the outset and grow a team with a clear focus on the pharmaceutical and medical devices industries.

We are looking for someone with a strong SAP background, substantial experience in pharmaceuticals or medical devices, and a track record as a Consulting Manager or Practice Leader/Director. You should be comfortable combining team leadership with the commercial thinking needed to build and grow a consulting business.

An immediate start is possible for the right person, although the client is equally happy to accommodate a notice period.

The finer details are still being confirmed, but the role is expected to include:

• Developing the business plan and setting the direction for the new SAP Life Sciences practice.
• Recruiting, building and leading a team of SAP consultants with pharmaceutical and medical devices expertise.
• Shaping the practice's services around the needs of Life Sciences customers.
• Working with colleagues across the wider consulting business to develop client relationships and identify opportunities.
• Providing leadership as the practice grows, supporting both the team's development and the quality of its delivery.

We are awaiting further details, but would welcome early conversations with people interested in helping shape this new practice. If this sounds like a natural next step, please share your CV and we can arrange an initial chat about the company and the opportunity.
